“Live like an Emperor in this fantastic home in the Heart of the Roman Forum!”

Reviewed 31 May 2016
for a stay in May 2016

Why book a hotel when you can have a 5-star stay at this beautiful home - pictures do this place no justice..Stay, experience, and enjoy!Situated alongside some of the most famous landmarks of Rome, this apartment is more than a place to stay. It brings you back in time to feel the inner presence of what Rome once was and all that it currently has to offer.

Nothing says Rome like seeing the Roman Forum from every window, balcony and the spectacular terrace. Being able to see something so magical at different times of the day will leave you speechless! We enjoyed daily breakfasts, lunches and dinners on the terrace all while enjoying the view. Ortensia made sure we had all the comforts of home even when entertaining on the roof; ice machine, glasses, dishes, and fantastic lighting. Daily maid service was provided to keep our linens fresh and the house looking tidy. No noisy crowds at night, peaceful neighborhood with San Teo cafe around the corner, Circo Massimo farmer's Market on the weekend, and a short walk from most major attractions to include: Colosseum, Circo Massimo, Roman Forum, Forum of Caesar and Augustus as well as Trajan's Forum and Market - a must see!, Capitoline Museums, and lots of shopping!Inside and out this property is the best of Rome. From cozy robes and slippers to sipping delicious wine on the terrace; all you'll need is here. So, book your trip of a lifetime and live like a Roman Emperor!

If you find this apartment still free for your dates, book this Diamond in the heart of Entire Rome immediately!!! Me and 2 my friends spent here 5 exiting days in May. It was not our first visit to Rome but it was the best one and one of the the main reasons was Ortenzia house. It's realy fully equipped apartment were you can find all you need, from shower caps and slippers to cocktail glasses and 2 different coffee machine. Each of three bedrooms has very comfortable king size bed, ensuite bathroom and air-condition. The house has a unique location. 5 min walk to Capitolini Hill and then 5 min to Piazza Venezia and Via del Corso or 15 min to Coloseo. Also, this place is very secure at night - The General Command of the Traffic Police Office is on the opposite side of the street. And it is very quiet place - I was sleeping with the window open and the only sounds I heard in my room were rear seagull's screaming. Oztenzia and her daughter Francesca were exclusively hospitable! They met us in the apartment and very quickly explain all the details about it. We arrived at 3PM and missed our lunch but in the fridge there was a nice surprise for us. Ortenzia leaved for us complimentary delicious local cheese, salsiccas, biscotti and strawberry. During the hole our stay Oztenzia and Francesca were ready to help us with any questions. Ortenzia also has an excellent staff, they made daily breakfast on the Terrace and daily cleaning for us and they were perfect. Certainly this absolutely wonderful apartment can not be compared with any 5-stars hotel, because the apartment and its fabulous Terrace have a special magic spirit and you will don't want to leave it!! I highly recommend it to everybody.
